"Thinking of You Right Now"

Sometimes we can't connect correctly
Yet oftentimes I feel a part of you
When you honestly smile at me
My heart melts like butter
And the brick wall of selfishness
falls into dust.

Sometimes you want to be alone
And I will learn this
Through trial and error
Because nothing is easy
And God never told me it would be

But when we're locked together 
In emotion's sweet embrace
The smell and feel and look of you
Causes me to wonder
How I ever lived without you
And all my fears and doubts erase

Love is only a word after all
And it disappeared from my life
It's not an easy emotion to control
So I stopped trying.

I'm certainly not perfect'
Especially to another
When, through years alone,
I've allowed my imperfections to magnify
I've never had to share myself
It's a new feeling
But feelings do
Run deep.

And I want to share myself
With you.

That you accept me as you do
Is all that I need
To make me happy
Right now.
